President Trump is reportedly reviewing plans to expand his immigration executive order to halt the massive inflow of foreign visa workers as a pro-American worker grassroots campaign grows.
Trump, according to Politico, may expand the order to reduce foreign labor market competition while more than 36 million Americans are unemployed. The existing order limits a small portion of green cards that make up less than ten percent of all legal immigration.
The expansion of the order, Politico reports, could include a halt on the J-1 visa program f0r foreign exchange visitors, the OPT program for foreign graduates, the H-1B visa for white-collar foreign workers, and the H-2B visa for blue-collar foreign workers:
To try and balance the two sides, the administration is considering limiting the number of immigrants who come to the United States for cultural exchanges — generally those hired for summer jobs at amusement parks, camps and resorts — as well as students attending U.S. colleges hired for temporary employment, according to four people, including an administration official and Republican Capitol Hill staffer involved with the discussions. It is also looking at cutting visas for skilled workers in specialty occupations and seasonal workers who work in industries that include landscaping, housekeeping and construction industries, they say.

Trump is still weighing even broader restrictions, though, that would bar all categories of guest workers except those who work on farms, according to a senior DHS official. But a White House official said all decisions, including immigration, are being viewed through the lens of reopening the country, making it extremely unlikely Trump take such a sweeping step and anger business leaders. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported, 30 college student organizations recently sent a letter to Trump asking him to end the OPT program and halt H-1B visa admissions.
The OPT program ensures that corporations like Amazon, Google, Deloitte, and Intel can continue to hire thousands of OPT foreign workers over American STEM graduates every year at a 15 percent discount. The program helps shift billions of dollars from heartland communities to metropolises in blue states with wealthy residents.

Please‼️. 🙏✝️🙏. Put a moratorium on ALL IMMIGRATION for a minimum of 2 years - 5 years would be better, because it is WRONG TO HIVE JOBS TO OTHERS RATHER THAN OUR OWN CITIZENS‼️
in addition, we've had a huge influx of illegal immigration and our country needs time to CLEAN THEM OUT, and for the remainder to adjust and assimilate to our society.
Also, there was an alarming number of Chinese immigrants that gained access to our nation via giving birth to BABIES HERE, Investigate Chino Hills, California!
The Chinese have taken over almost the entire city, in a mere 10 years!
you, Mr President, are the only one that can fix and stop this!
